Auto-de-amor

Celia Gallego

📍 Thompson by Hyatt, Madrid, Spain

ES

Celia Gallego plantea la importancia del cuidado propio a través de este lienzo, donde se observa el gesto del abrazo como tal. La paradoja del doble está presente en este doble rostro, idéntico de ambos lados, creando la sensación de duplicidad, como en un espejo. La escena transcurre en la intimidad de unas sábanas del color del cielo, cuyas nubes aportan ligereza al acto que supone el auto-amarse, y rellenan todos los huecos vitales.
